24159 Day 49

back_to_bird

most of you will know that i worked for bird street community center the past two summers, and during the 08-09 school year. amy and i have committed to maintaining that relationship, particularly with the kids.

i've been trying to get over to my old site on monday afternoons. it's been great to see ramel and isaiah (pictured) and the rest of the old crew, along with some new faces.

being a volunteer is a little weird after being the "boss". but it's amazing how quickly the authoritarian skills come back. most encouraging is that the kids still listen to me! that aside it is good to be present with them, even in a more limited fashion, and hopefully continue to build on some of the progress made over the last year.
